Resolution 17: That if resolution 16. is passed and, pursuant to Article 13 of the Company's articles of association, the board be given power, pursuant to section 570 to allot equity securities (as defined in the Companies Act 2006) for cash under the authority given by that resolution and/or where the allotment constitutes an allotment of equity securities by virtue of section 560 of the Companies Act 2006, free of the restriction in section 561 of the Companies Act 2006, such power to be limited:

(i) to ordinary shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and

(ii) to people who are holders of other equity securities if this is required by the rights of those securities or, if the directors consider it necessary, as permitted by the rights of those securities,

and so that the board may impose any limits or restrictions and make any arrangements which it considers necessary or appropriate to deal with fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or any other matter; and

b) in the case of the authority granted under resolution 16(a), to the allotment (otherwise than under (a) above) of equity securities up to a nominal amount of £907,415.

Such power to apply until the end of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2012 (or, if earlier, 15 months from the date of this resolution) but during this period the Company may make offers, and enter into agreements, which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted after the power ends and the board may allot equity securities under any such offer or agreement as if the power had not ended."

d) this authority shall expire at the close of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2012 (or, if earlier, 18 months from the date of this resolution); and
